I was looking for something last minute for Valentine's day and she was able to take time out of her very busy day (right before Valentine's!) to look for something that could work for me. Thankfully, she had a single extra of her special Heart available and it turned out to be perfect! These are clearly highly-sought after and I was super lucky to have been able to get one! Thank you Amy Jo!! :)

Businesses…read more The care, attention, and personal details that had gone into my order... sigh, it's what makes you think, "Hell yeah, I know some beautiful, tasty AF chocolates will soon be devoured." Mary Jo is the consummate professional. When I spoke to her on the phone about my order and expectations I immediately got why she receives rave, five-star reviews. She's passionate about being a true chocolatier. A dear friend who was the recipient of my gift sent me this picture below and you can't deny how gorgeous the presentation is -- and it's only showing half of the order. She said the bars, bonbons, and turtles were rich and delicious. I can't wait to place another order.

My favorite chocolates are made in Switzerland, Belgium, and Japan…read more So I was pleasantly surprised to find a Läderach Chocolate shop while walking around South Coast Plaza. They were handing out samples of their hazelnut chocolate bars, and after one bite, I knew I had to step inside to look around and try some more. Such luxuriously rich and smooth chocolate morsels that melt so exquisitely in your mouth (where you can taste and smell the layers of quality ingredients contained in each piece). Really took me back to my last trip to Switzerland when I overindulged in chocolates and fondue (and it was so very worth it). Pricing is by the pound if you get items a la carte. Truffles and pralines are $84 per lb (works out to be average of $3 per piece) and their chocolate bark bars (aka FrischSchoggi) are about $60 to $64 per lb. Otherwise there are prepackaged boxes at set prices ranging from about $20 to $150 and more. Today I sampled the hazelnut chocolate bar, pava praline square, a white chocolate espresso truffle, and a champagne truffle. I ultimately decided to purchase the pava praline set (comes with 8 pieces) and 5 pieces of the white chocolate expresso truffles. Total was just under $40. Truffles came in nicely designed, minimalistic boxes. They are located on the second floor of the Bloomingdale's wing of South Coast Plaza, above Sephora.

We especially like the popular milk chocolate with hazelnuts, the blonde chocolate, the one with strawberries.

You can tell they really care about what they're selling and want you to enjoy it just as much as they do. And the chocolate... absolutely incredible. Rich, smooth, and full of flavor in every bite. It's clear they use high quality ingredients, and it really shows. Everything I tried felt thoughtfully made and indulgent without being overwhelming. Between the amazing customer service and the delicious chocolate, this place is an easy 5 stars. I'll definitely be coming back.

Venchi is a premium Italian chocolatier with tons of appetizing chocolate; however, the line around…read morethe store is for their gelatos and sorbetto, which are delicious. My wife and I shared stracciatella and cappuccino gelatos and we bought a few of their chocolate truffles. If you have a nut allergy, then this is probably not the place for you, as many of their premium gelatos and chocolates have nuts. Cost for truffles are upwards of $15 for a quarter pound. Prices are high; however, the quality is undeniable. Aside from gelato and chocolate, you could also get chocolate and nut pastes (such as hazelnut cream and the pistachio cream that you need for Dubai Chocolates). They have lots of classy, stocking-stuffer gift ideas if you want chocolate that's an upgrade from Sees. If you want chocolate, note that you don't need to wait in the long line outside of the store. You also may be able to order gelato along with your order of chocolate. On a hot day, I definitely would love their fruit sorbets. It's a good addition to South Coast Plaza and it's a good place to check out if you want something sweet after a meal.

When you enter in, you can see that cool chocolate fountain with their signature logo, lots of candy and chocolate barks on display and their selection of various flavors of gelato. Seating is pretty tight and limited. The lady who served us was very patient and let us sample multiple flavors. I ended up getting Tiramisu and NOUGATINE and my girl got their famous Green Pistachio. Flavor profile was good and it came with this small toasted bread. Wasn't too sweet, just right. Two regular cups was like $17 total. Pretty expensive for the portion, but quality was pretty good. TBH though, I prefer Baccio di Latte in Newport!
